Hamburger steak ingredients 

• Ground Beef—Try to go for the 80/20 ground beef. This will give these protein-packed hamburger patties a lot of flavor.

• Seasonings- Onion powder, garlic powder, seasoning salt, and black pepper.

• Worcestershire Sauce- This is optional, but it helps bring all the spices and flavors together.

• Olive Oil- To sear your ground beef patty.

• Sweet Onion- Helps to bring in that aromatic smell and taste.  

• Butter- The butter works well with the ground beef in this hamburger steak with gravy and onions.

• Beef Broth- To thicken the gravy.

• McCormick Gravy Seasoning: You can make your gravy from scratch with a little bit of flour and broth, but I love the packet gravy myself.

How to make hamburger steak with onions and gravy?

• Gather all of your ingredients

• Add your ground beef to a bowl.

• Add all your seasonings (onion powder, garlic powder, seasoning salt, and Worcestershire sauce).

• Mix those ingredients into your ground beef well.

• Form your beef into patties into circles. Try not to go any bigger than the palm of your hand.

• Add butter, olive oil, and onions to a medium-high skillet. Allow the butter to melt.

• Add your beef patties. Once they cook for 5 minutes on both sides, take them out and set them to the side.

• To the same skillet, add your beef broth and slowly stir in your gravy packet.

• Add the patties back into the pot while stirring gently. At this point, you want to season it to taste.
• Turn the stove to medium-low. Place a top over the hamburger steak and simmer for 5 minutes.

Different Ways To Enjoy Hamburger Steak

• Add them to a side of roasted broccoli or carrots for a nutritious kick.
• Smothered over a bed of white rice.

• If you want a hearty, comforting way to enjoy these patties, add them to mashed potatoes. Drizzle with all that good old brown gravy over the top, and there you have it.

• Salad style is a great way to spruce up this meal. Break the beef into pieces and add it to a bed of lettuce.

• Serve over a plate of steamed veggies to get in your protein and fiber simultaneously.

Variations/Substitutions For Hamburger Steak

• Mushroom Gravy: If you enjoy mushrooms, you can make a mushroom gravy by adding sliced mushrooms and onions to the skillet.

• Lean Ground Beef Substitute: If you’re following a low-fat or low-calorie diet, you can use lean ground turkey or chicken instead of lean ground beef.
